Utah man killed in police pursuit identified

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Utah authorities say a man killed after leading police on a chase down a busy street is 37-year-old man from the Salt Lake City suburb of West Valley City.

Salt Lake City police said in a news release Monday afternoon that the deceased is Harold Vincent Robinson.

Police say Robinson died Monday morning after a police pursuit where he weaved in and out of traffic while leaning out of his truck window and firing his rifle at them. He crashed into a building and police opened fire on his truck.

He was wanted as a suspect in two convenience store robberies.

Online Utah court records show that Robinson had pleaded guilty to assault in 2001 and 2003. He was ordered to go to anger management classes after the 2001 incident which was a domestic violence case.
